Revenge of the fallen

Memories

(Dolcenea's POV)

Pepper was licking me again, until I was wide awake. I slept like a baby! For the first time in years, I didn't have any nightmares, not even a simple dream I can remember. I feel so fresh and relaxed. Pepper started pulling my gown again. I had to get rid of him so that I can take a nice bubble bath, Bella helped. The water was warm and fragrance of Lavender was so mesmerizing. I closed my eyes and suddenly I remembered the guy. Who was he? I have seen many men before but none of them had such an impact on me in the very first meeting. Those eyes, they reminded me of something but I can't quite get hold of what it is. Bella was waiting for me with a beautiful frock, red and lacy. The sweetheart neckline was a bit deep for me so I borrowed a scarf from Bella. The chiffon scarf wasn't enough to hide the deep neck but it would work. My arm was feeling better. Bella served me some burritos, seems like Paul has taken the kitchen duty.

Where is he? I haven't seen him yet. I need answers, but with Bella and Pepper around, I couldn't go anywhere.

"I am feeling tired. Bella would you mind taking Pepper out for a walk. I need some time alone." Bella complied. But seems like Pepper knew I was upto to something. He refused to leave with Bella. He was running from her. I caught him and handed him over to Bella. "Don't worry Peppy, I'll be fine." I watched Bella struggling hard to keep Pepper in check while moving out of the door.

I decided to sneak out after a while. The hallways are confusing. I stopped near the door on my left. Is he in there? Shall I check inside? Nope nope nope!!! Concentrate Dolcenea, you have to find Paul. I took the stairs down, expecting to find a dining hall and kitchen. There was a door at the end. I opened the door and saw a passage. This place is getting spooky now. Where the hell am I? I think I have taken the wrong stairs. I turned back to return and I was shocked to see only mirrors behind. There was no door, no stairs, no passage just mirrors! How is this possible?

Something in here isn't right. I wanted to get out of this freaky place as soon as possible but seems like moving forward is the only way. I saw several doors beyond. A beautiful wooden door caught my attention. It had a carving of a wolf howling, I felt drawn towards it. I opened the door. Bloody hell!!! It was a huge room with satin blue curtains, large wardrobes, beautiful and neat bed, the room was full of bright lights. There were paintings on the wall, they seem very ancient yet well preserved. Near the bed I saw a big portrait, I couldnt beleive my eyes! It's me, sitting on his lap, smiling at him.... My head was spinning. What is this? Suddenly the ambiance changed!! The room is still the same but I don't see bright lights, instead there are candles everywhere. The lights are dim. I saw someone like me standing near the window, staring at the moon. Someone is coming, the door opened and the handsome mysterious guy entered. He is the same guy in the portrait, the same guy I saw last night in the next room. It felt like I am watching a movie! 

"Enjoying the full moon, love!" The girl suddenly turned back and looked at him. Wow!! That is really me!! Wearing a beautiful purple gown, it has the same sweetheart neckline as the frock Bella gave me today and I am wearing a scarf too. Wow!! She is literally eye f*****g the man!! Geez have some shame! The guy is approaching her with a deep and seriuos look, his eyes are dark and fully fixated on her. He kissed her forehead and slowly removed the scarf. He touched her slowly through her face towards her neck and placed a soft kiss on her neck. She was enjoying every bit of him. Suddenly I heard someone yelling!! Both of them moved away and ran outside but the guy didn't allow her to accompany him. "Wait here! I'll handle this" his tone was rather commanding. She stayed back, I decided to follow him. We were near the main hall when we heard a scream from the room inside. The guy turned back, "It's a trap!" "Paulo!!! Gather the pack now!" He ran towards the room and I followed him. I came to see that I was lying on the floor, someone stabbed me with a golden sword.

Suddenly my stomach started hurting, I felt like I was dying. It wasn't the pain of wound but the pain to see him cry and hold me helplessly that hurted the most. I don't want to die, I want to live with him.... I couldn't help it. I yelled out loud "Help me, help......" I couldn't do it anymore, my mouth was dry and I felt like darkness taking over me.
